went fishing with his dear cousin Nora
A very nice lady, ginger and intrepid.
Today she adopted a Turkish Angora

The priest who wants to rest
took a shower early which he enjoyed
The water...

So Often Ignored

Nannies know little of color
White holding favor by 5th Ave employers
Barons and Baronesses of means
Gazing from insulated windows on high
As infant guardian merges blanketed carriage and job
Into daily Central Park realities

Inquisitive bundled baby...

"The sky prepares the sun for night

where drifting clouds are slowly steeping

 in tepid pools of waning light"


The horizon reveals its colors

Variegated yarn slides
and loops through my digits,
shifts from sunset hues to earthen curlicues.
Tension knots the forward carried yarn
like tales of old
in a “Sock it to me!” movie.

Serpentine needles circular as the sylvan sunset
kiss 	to form...

"Red Invitation"

Crocheted a whole story 
in golden twine of soft angora

She said no purple 
I don’t want purple Agapanthas

the whole barbecue thing 
is a party thing 

unattended. 

This was the most recent 
conversation.

Lavender Street, She...

that a certain early bird eagerly sang.
Every day, as sun appeared, his audible
voice awakened bluebells…allowing this
opera house a song and sight of spring.

Always dreaming of Spring, along with
its serenading...

Amir of my covenant; Mohammad
Awaken and find yourself still in two.
Pigeon’s high spirit flapping
As daylight rains through
Dream clouds burst and,
Ringing, draw true
The sheep are raised and set to follow
Like a fat candle mold

Limitless is her divine aura

Poets compete to verse on her
For she is a presiding Lord of flora

Besides being Lord Goddess Arora
